in reply to dns server in perl

Sounds like there may be some duplication. Net::DNSServer already exists. It doesn't do the zone files. But it is fairly stable and handles DNS very well. It is also fully object oriented so it is very extensible. Haven't looked at yours, but it seems as if finer points from both could be merged.

my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];

    Greetings again,

    Net::DNSServer is particularly limited, requires you write your own resolver of local domains ANYWAY (if you intend to be authoritative, instead of just a cacher) and it didn't even work on the three machines I tried.
    It inherits a whole STACK of functions making debugging work a depressingly bleak prospect.

    Plus mine is a whole lot smarter anyway ;)

    JP,
